A/N- I'm so glad you guys liked it! By the way, to all Americans- Happy
Thanksgiving!
Zoe Lefebvre- Yeah, James is being a bit of a jerk right now. But maybe he has a reason..
Achintya- Lay off the sugar! LoL.
Word Painter- Thanks for reviewing both!! You're my new favorite reviewer!
Carissa- I love Lily/Sirius fics too. This probably won't be the last one of that pairing I ever write.
Cho_look_alike- Thanks a bunch for reviewing!
Quack Quack 88- I like your pen name! And you're right, James is always perfect.
So, I don't know about you guys, but I'm anxious to see how Sirius and Lily attempt to explain this one.
"Remus." Sirius' voice was little more than a whisper. "How long have you.?"
"The whole thing. Sirius, I need to talk to you. Alone." Lily nodded slowly and made her way to the other end of the classroom.
"Listen Remus."
"No, you listen to me. James is your best friend. And Lily is his girlfriend. They love each other, Sirius. You can't possibly expect her to give up everything they had because of one kiss with you. It's not gonna happen. She's not gonna leave James for you."
"Well, don't hold back."
"Look, I'm sorry. But watching that kiss, it was like watching the most perfect thing I had ever known nearly break. And that's what will happen if you guys continue all this. You'll end up hating each other because of what you'll be causing each other to do. It's not fair!"
"What's not fair is the way James is treating her. Have you seen that? He used to look at her like she was the most beautiful woman alive. Now it seems like he just glances through her."
"Sirius, that's between James and Lily. Is that why you're doing this? To prove a point?"
"No, I'm doing this because I love her." Remus stared, shocked at Sirius. "You love her?"
"Yeah, I really do. I had never realized until today, but I am in love with her. I know this sounds crazy, but I honestly think she's the one for me."
"So does James. For him, I mean."
"Remus, you have to promise me. Don't tell him. Please. Lily and I will work this out. Just- please don't tell him."
"I won't, only because this would crush him. I'll give you a month. At the end of the month, I tell him. He deserves to know the truth. But I hopefully won't have to tell him anything. Hopefully you two will work this 'thing' out." Remus shot Sirius one last searching gaze before he turned and left the room.
Sirius shook his head and moved toward the front of the room. Lily was sitting at a desk, her head in her arms. "Lily?"
"Sirius. Umm, hi."
"Hi." They sat in an awkward silence. "Listen Lil, about that kiss.."
"It didn't mean anything, don't worry. I was just having a rough time. We didn't mean to. It didn't mean anything.right?"
"Exactly what I was thinking, Lily." Sirius said the words with great pain. "You're my amigo, pal, buddy."
"Yep. Nothing more than that. Friends?"
"The best." Sirius said aloud allow his heart was screaming 'more than'. They exited the classroom and walked the long stretch to the common room in silence.
Lily walked through the portrait hole first. James was sitting exactly where he had been earlier. He turned at the sound of their footsteps.
"Where have you been, Lily? I was worried." His tone was accusatory and his eyes were flashing.
"Prongs, chill out. We just went to Hogsmeade."
"Padfoot, stay out of this. Lily, why didn't you tell me you were leaving? I really was worried about you."
"That's a laugh. You haven't thought about me in days, why start now?"
"Lily, of course I worry about you. I love you."
"Do you really, James? Then tell me. Tell me what's the matter. Tell me what's tearing you up inside. Trust me enough to tell me."
"I wish I could, I really do. But, I can't."
"Can't? Or won't?"
"There's no difference."
"Don't tell me that, James Potter. There's a huge difference!"
"Let's just talk about this later, ok? I have a lot of stuff on my mind."
"Tell me then! Let me help you!"
"Why don't you mind your own damn business?" Lily shrank back. James never cursed to her. And they had never fought like this before.
"I can't believe you just said that."
"I, I can't either. I didn't mean it. Please, Lily, I'm so sorry. I love you. Don't be angry with me." He walked towards her, and Lily let him hug her. He wrapped his arms around her. Something was missing, though. His body was there, but his mind was in a different place entirely. A place he couldn't tell Lily about. The realization sent her spinning back to Earth and she stepped back abruptly.
"Let's just talk about something else, ok James?"
"Fair enough. I've been meaning to ask you what color your dress robes are. You know, for the Yule Ball."
A million answers streamed through her head. 'You never even asked me!'-- 'Are we going together?' -'I want to go with Sirius!'. The final answered shocked and scared her. So she blurted out , "They're blue. Light blue."
"You'll look beautiful. You always do." He leaned down to kiss her for the first time in a week. She forgot all about everything as his arms wrapped around her waist. Lily locked her arms behind his head, pulling him closer.
And without a sound, Sirius left the room.
A/N- Aww, poor Sirius. And what was that last answer Lily thought all about? I thought she just wanted to be friends! Hmm...well review! I'll scramble to get the next part out soon.
